Francesca set up the Goals4Girls initiative

Francesca Brown - Prince's Trust Young Achiever

Francesca set up an football development programme that helps young girls deal with issues such as low self-esteem, bullying and body-image.

The 25-year-old credits football with saving her from a troubled childhood, which saw her attempt suicide aged 13.

The PE teacher, from Manchester, moved to London after her dreams of playing football in the US were ended by a groin injury.

She set up the Goals4Girls project in East London in 2013 as a voluntary project, before turning it into a business with the help of the Prince’s Trust two years later.

The Groves family successfully lobbied the Government to introduce Lillian's law

Groves family - Special Recognition

The Groves family successfully lobbied the Government to introduce a zero-tolerance approach on drug-driving after the death of their daughter Lillian in 2010.

The 14-year-old, from Croydon in South London, was hit by a motorist who was under the influence of cannabis and died in hospital the next day.

The driver dodged drug-driving charges as police did not carry testing kits on them. He served eight weeks of an eight month sentence for death by careless driving.

Lillian’s Law, introduced last year, now means that officers carry roadside drugs test kits, while those caught driving under the influence face an automatic ban and maximum one-year jail term.

William saved a pensioner who was trapped in a burning car

William Edwards - Outstanding Bravery

William saved a pensioner who was trapped in her blazing car and thought that she was about to die.

The 24-year-old pulled over when he spotted the motor and smashed open Anne Wade’s window, cutting his arm open and severing two tendons.

The Asda worker said he “didn’t even give it a second thought” despite other drivers warning him that the car was about to blow up.

The 80-year-old dementia sufferer has raised almost £130,000 for the Alezheimer’s Society with his “Carpool Karaoke” clips after Simon posted the video on Facebook.

Ted, from Merseyside, has since released his first single under the name The Song-A-Minute-Man – a nickname he has had since his days as a pub singer.
